From the Missouri West
New York: Aperture / A New Images Book, 1980.
First Edition. Hardcover.
First Trade Edition. 48 sepia-toned images of the Missouri West.
From the dust wrapper flap: “These views of the contemporary West evoke a wide range of memories, myths, and regrets associated with America’s final frontier. In the 19th century, that frontier began at the Missouri River. Beyond it lay a landscape of natural grandeur and purity, challenging the spirit and promising redemption.” In these modern views, Robert Adams records not only the domestication of that wild paradise, but the force of nature beyond it that can’t be tamed.
"Nothing is lost, but it can never again be as it was." - Loren Eiseley
